ICT hailed for handing death to AL brass Mobarak
The death penalty for Brahmanbaria Awami League leader Mobarak Hossain clears issues that war criminals will be brought to trial and justice beyond their respective political identity, a faction of Gonojagoron Mancha said today.
Imran H Sarker, spokesperson for a Gonojagoron Mancha faction, said he was happy with the special war crimes tribunal awarding death for Mobarak’s war crimes in 1971.
“Mobarak was a very sly person. He joined a progressive party after independence to hide away his war crimes committed in 1971,” he told a television reporter.
“We were concerned that he might use his political identity to evade justice. But, this verdict proves that if this goes on, war criminals who took shelter in several political parties will be brought to trial and face justice,” he added.
Gonojagoron Mancha wanted trial for war criminals beyond of respective political identity, Imran added.
The Mancha faction brought out a joyous procession from Dhaka’s Shahbagh and paraded through Dhaka University campus after hearing the verdict.
Mobarak, a Jamaat-e-Islami leader who later joined the Awami League after 1971, was handed death today in one charge of crimes committed against humanity in 1971.
